I look at it differently. My Duster has radial T/As, and KYB shocks with manual drum brakes and steering. No it doesn't handle or brake as good as my 2006 Charger Daytona but for it's age and technology it tracks and stops straight and handles okay for what it is at legal speeds on modern roads. I compare that the 1956 Chevy was only fifteen years between the two and having owned one I can say it rode like a truck, didn't like turns at all and the fact that a passenger side sun visor was an option, the technology and ride is night and day. You have to enjoy an old muscle car for what it is and was, a different time. I wouldn't compare a 1971 RCA Television with rabbit ears to a 60 inch smart LCD flat screen TV either.
